Default shallow water boats
How many of yall have mudboats, tunnel hulls, or other skinny water boats? What do you have and how do you like it? No real reason for the question im just interested to see what people have and like.

My buddy has an 18x46 gator tail with a 35 gtr that has a stage 3 modd set-up and I love fishing out of it. I plan on buying the same set-up but the 52" extreme bottom in a couple years once my bay boat is paid off.

Just get a haynie. Cuz apparently you can get up in 1" of water in the marsh then run 120 miles out in 8' seas at 50+mph. Best of both worlds!

Does all of the extra wood in it help it float better?
